“We commend congressional leadership for their commitment to enact
legislation that will require all retailers to collect owed sales taxes.
Today, brick and mortar retailers must collect owed sales and use taxes,
while Internet retailers do so only in limited circumstances. As state
budgets are hurting, forcing layoffs of essential public safety
employees, now is the time to give states the ability to collect this
much needed, and legally due, source of revenue. We urge Congress to act
quickly and enact this vital legislation.”
